BREAKING: US mega-star backs Gympie rapper after online hate

HATERS may be picking their jaws off the floor after Gympie's infamous rapper T-Dub (aka Tony Woodrow) yesterday got the backing of one of the industry's biggest names following weeks of insidious online trolling.

US mega-star Ice-T, an award-winning gansta rap pioneer, producer, actor and author who is recognised for his lead role on hit US crime show Law & Order: SVU, recorded a shout-out to accompany the Gympie product's latest film clip.

Ice-T gives T-Dub shout out :

"I'm loving the music videos you are doing. Tony Woodrow, aka T-Dub, you keep up the awesome work and f*** the haters," Ice-T said."T-Dub - the best rapper in Australia - Ice says so."

Woodrow found himself under fire last week when US artists JTripz and Dogg Pound inexplicably took offence to one of his Instagram music clips.

Woodrow fought back with a freestyle rap and expected a "traditional rap battle" to ensue, but it turned ugly when the musicians and their followers, without correlation, linked Woodrow to a damning news story involving an Australian paedophile ring.
